Crenshaw developed the concept to name a specific failure: anti-discrimination law could address race discrimination or sex discrimination but could not recognize the particular harm experienced by Black women, for whom race and gender are not separable axes of oppression but co-constituting structures. A Black woman fired from a workplace that employs Black men and white women experiences a harm that neither racial discrimination nor sex discrimination, analyzed separately, can capture.</p>
